Ireland A Dó

I have been in Ireland now for 48 days. My tan is a distant memory and I now own an umbrella. Poor weather aside, the city of Dublin has a new fan.

Here's what's happened over the last month:

I found a cool apartment that came with an equally cool roommate. I do miss the "hostel life" and being surrounded by other travelers but enjoy having a full size bath towel. It's a trade off.

My friend, Els, on one of her solo adventures, dropped in for a visit while touring around Ireland and the UK on her scooter. You want some inspiration? Talk to her.

I joined some locals to watch a Hurling match at Croke Park. The game is fast and the fans are nuts. Have a look. FYI - If you set up on Hill 16, you will hear language that would sicken a trucker. Don't worry, it's normal.

Sophie flew to the Dub to see what all the fuss was about. We visited the Leprauchan Musuem and sat in a really big chair. The little bastards screwed me out of 10 Euro.

I. Got. A. Job.
